Try to Write a letter to the ADA asking for a reduction. Explain the the possibilty your speedo was off and you have a clean license. If your not staisfied with that, plead not guilty and you will be scheduled for a trail in which you will be able to discuss the ticket and a possible reduction with the law enforcement official prior to seeing the judge. Ask for a no point reduction or even a 2 point citation such as failure to obey, etc. Unless the Court/Ada, Trooper is hardcore going to a trial over the matter is not cost effectavive.
If you plead guilty to a lesser charge the court still gets the money, you don't get any points and the ada/Trooper still gets a ticket.

Says that he can get you off 90% of the time. Money well spent if you get off considering $80 ticket, plus points on insurannce for 3 years.
